Door and Window objects now offer the ability to add blocks to their definition, which adds unparalleled customization capabilities to these object types.

Parametric Stairs, Rails and Rail Styles

and so much more

In TurboCAD Pro you will find many of the most advanced technologies in the industry: 3D ACIS® Modeler from Spatial, D-Cubed™ 2D DCM constraint manager from Siemens Industry Software Limited, the Redsdk drawing engine for GPU-accelerated 2D and Wireframe display modes from Redway3d®, and LightWorks photorealistic and non-photorealistic artistic rendering capabilities from LightWork Design.

The Platinum product includes all of the advanced features necessary for both architectural design and more specific mechanical design tasks. Because of the breadth of mechanical and architectural tools, the Platinum Edition also is perfectly flexible for users whose projects cross disciplines:

Designer-builders and Contractors

Electricians and Plumbers

Structural and HVAC Engineers

Plant Designers

and more!

TurboCAD Pro Platinum functionality can of course be extended through one of the many plug-ins for TurboCAD such as Animation Lab, CAM, Furniture Maker, or the Beam Analysis Tool. In addition, there is a Software Developers' Kit (SDK) and Ruby Scripting for TurboCAD Pro Platinum to allow you to create your own tools and customize behaviors.

System Requirements

Minimum System Requirements:

Pentium® IV Processor

Microsoft® Windows® XP with 512 MB RAM

Windows Vista or Windows 7 with 1024 MB RAM

300 MB of free hard disk space

Super VGA (1024 x768) display

High Color (16 bit) graphics support

4X DVD-ROM drive

Recommended:

A GPU-accelerated wireframe render mode (based on Redsdk technology from Redway3D®) requires a supported graphic processing unit (either a chip on the board, or on a video card). The latest video drivers are typically required. Newer boards with more power and VRAM generally provide greater performance. To determine if your video card or personal computer uses is likely compatible refer to your System Specifications, or contact the manufacturer of your video card and see if it uses one of the following video chipsets:

NVIDIA chipsets

GeForce 8 Series

GeForce 9 Series

GeForce GTX Series

AMD ATI chipsets

R600 family

R700 family

INTEL chipsets

GMA 4000 family

Windows Vista and Windows 7 Aero display mode causes interference with the Redsdk GPU-accelerated display mode. If you select this option TurboCAD will turn Aero mode off for that session. It affects only the transparency of the application window border.
